HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY, RED RIVER THEATRES!!!

I LOVE the gang at Red River Theatres.  Seven years ago (!!!) they let this bearded fat dude show a mini-film with muppets to propose to his wife. And it went a little crazy afterwards, and every step of the way everyone up there has been close to my heart. I can never thank them enough for everything they did.

This year marks their 10th Birthday! I couldn't make it up to their birthday festivities, but Muppet Sid wanted to let them know that there isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't think about them.

Happy Birthday, RRT.  We love you all. I hope you are around for a long, long, long time, exposing people to quality independent cinema.

<3

Duality

I used to be scared to incorporate Muppet Sid into stuff - because I didn't want people to think I was trying to "cash in" on what attention the Muppet Proposal got.  And because it's the internet, I got some mean emails and comments anytime I'd photograph him or try to do something fun with him.

Enough time has gone by (egads, almost 5 years ago!  Where did the time go??) that I've been bringing Muppet Sid out more and more for stuff.  Because he's a Muppet version of me.  Because he's simply too awesome not to do fun things with.   And, because, screw you, internet haters.

A few people have joked that Muppet Sid and I are becoming one and the same.  With him speaking my words in my "Inspiration" post at DEDPXL, they could very well be correct.

So I made this one day at the studio while doing some test lighting for a head shot that was coming in.  I think it's fun.  It's me.  It's also a Muppet-me.  It's all me.

Suck it, Internet haters.  He's awesome.  I'm awesome.  I'm tired of people trying to make me feel ashamed of that.

Two Year Wedding Anniversary

I blinked, and I've already been married to Sara for two years.  Time.  Flies. To celebrate two years of marriage (and for being together 12(!!!) years, we headed back up to where we spent our Honeymoon; Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, in Maine for a week.  Sara lived in Bar Harbor for a spell.  It's like visiting an old friend.

These two years have whizzed by

This time though, I decided to not bring lots of camera equipment (because, after all, I'm a Photographer, and we're expected to have cameras around our necks at all times, right?), and stuck with two things - the Hasselblad for some film shooting, and my measly cell phone camera.  That was it.  That was all.  I wanted to spend more time with my Wife and less time looking through a viewfinder.

I couldn't carry this large driftwood that I wrapped with some found rope at Winter Harbor in Acadia, so I jammed it into a rock along the coast and created a photo-op for other traveling photographers.  To them: you are welcome ;)

A Hasselblad, the Rolls Royce of film cameras, tends to want to be included in the pictures you take.  It looks that good.

To see more images from this vacation, head over to my Instagram account, which sort of serves as my daily photo-journal.

I'm already looking forward to our 3rd Anniversary vacation, wherever that might be.

WELCOME WPPI READERS!

Howdy, WPPI members and readers!

Looks like WPPI read the article over at PetaPixel a few weeks ago and mentioned our Tintype Wedding portraits by Yige Wang in their own blog post talking about wet-plate and tintype photography being used for contemporary weddings.  Woo!
